In the wake of World War II, the cultural life of the United States underwent a massive transformation. At the heart of these changes during the early Cold War were the rise of the concept of identity and a reformulation of the country's political life. A revolution in music was taking place at the same time-a tumult of new musical styles and institutions that would lead to everything from the birth of rock 'n' roll to the new downtown experimental music scene. Together, these new cultural and musical trends came to define the era. In the search for new social affinities and modes of self-fashioning, music provided just the right tool. What Shall I Be follows the concept of identity as it developed alongside new post-war music making. Author Philip M. Gentry travels through four very different musical scenes : the R&B world of doo-wop pioneers the Orioles, the early film musicals of Doris Day, Asian American cabaret in San Francisco, and John Cage's infamous 4'33". The lives of musicians, composers, critics, and fans reveal how individuals negotiated the social changes sweeping the country in the initial days of the Cold War. As we are again swept up in a time of significant transformation, these early strategies help to inform the political and musical narratives of today

Le mouvement social qui a secoué le Bélarus en 2020 a fait la une de la presse internationale pour son ampleur et pour la violence de la répression policière. De nombreux musiciens rock s’inscrivent rapidement dans ce mouvement contestataire contre la dictature. Cet engagement n’est pourtant pas nouveau : depuis quarante ans, des rockers biélorusses expriment leur opposition aux dominants du champ politique. Comment se construit l’équivalence entre le rock et la contestation sous régime autoritaire ? À quel point répond-elle à la volonté d’engagement politique des musiciens ? De quelle manière le système autoritaire contribue-t-il à la politisation de la musique ? À partir d’une enquête ethnographique sur le rock biélorusse, l’ouvrage propose une analyse générale des logiques historiques et sociales de l’engagement politique des artistes, où s’articulent l’influence des traditions artistiques, les stratégies de concurrence et de distinction, l’enrôlement par les mouvements sociaux et les effets de censure. À travers l’histoire d’un mouvement artistique c’est aussi l’histoire sociale du Bélarus qui se découvre.
